And you're just going off of that?Touji: What do you expect out of someone you don't even remember?Touji: Hurry up and forget someone like---Makito: I told you that I'll wait for him!!

Page 12Touji: For a guy who didn't even show up for her funeral!!?Makito: ~~~Makito: Hi...Makito: What the heck...Makito: Mom told me that he'll be back... She told me to believe in him...Makito: Why would you say something liek that... Why...

Page 13Makito: ...Touji: ...Touji: What are you doing...?Makito: Letters...!Makito: He must not know that mom died! Because... We wrote letters to each other!Makito: When I write a reply, mom would write the address and send it out! And then...on the envelopes of dad's letters...there are addresses of the hotels that he stayed at!Touji: ...Touji: There are no such things...Makito: !?

Page 14Touji: Mifuyu-chan asked me to write those letters...Makito: ...Huh...?Touji: It must be unnatural if he doesn't get in touch at all...Touji: I'll be frank with you, boy...Touji: Like you said...Touji: Your dad doesn't know anything...Touji: Like the fact that Mifuyu-chan died...Touji: Or rather---

Page 15Touji: He doesn't even know of your existence...!Makito: ...Makito: Wait... What...?Touji: Mifuyu-chan and your dad...Touji: Promised to get married, but it never happened...Touji: Making a promise... That he'll definitely come back for her, your dad left this island...Touji: That was almost a year before you were born...Touji: Believing his words... Mifuyu-chan raised you all by herself until now...Makito: No way...Touji: She waited for a man...who never even showed up once in 13 years!Makito: ...No...

Page 16Makito: It isn't true!!!Touji: Boy!!Box: It was...all a lie...Mifuyu: He's in a country called Sri Lanka right now---!Makito: Srilanka---?Box: The letters...her words...all a lie to make me believe...

Page 17Mifuyu: He'll come soon... So just wait a bit longer...Box: Absolutely...everything---Makito(thought): Your dad doesn't know anything...Makito(thought): Not Mifuyu-chan's death...nor the fact that he has a son....Makito(thought): He'll definitely be back...Makito(thought): She waited on, believing those words...!Makito(thought): In the end---Makito(thought): I guess he betrayed mom...Makito(thought): On the other side of the ocean...Makito(thought): Dad is living a carefree life without knowing anything...

Page 18+19Makito(thought): On the...other side of the ocean---Touji: ...Touji: There you are.Touji: I'll tell you this, boy...Touji: Mifuyu-chan didn't lie to you for no reason... She really did believe him...Makito: I know...Makito: ...Makito: Hey...Makito: Dad is...a writer for Asian cuisine.Makito: Is that a lie too..?Touji: ...No...Touji: That's the truth...Makito: ...
